Welcome into the World of Westlake
Tokyo, Japan（April 18,2015）—— Westlake Racing Tyre SPORT RS of ZC RUBBER appeared at the D1 Grand Prix, which is as important as “F1” in the field of drifting, representing the highest level of drifting in Japan. It was the first time for Chinese to attend the race that Shaohua Zhang, who is called the China's first man to drift, one of the Westlake drifting team members, competed with more than 60 top pro riders from all around the world with Westlake Racing Tyre SPORT RS.
The match was difficult and hard-fought in reality. When competing with Kuniaki Takahashi, the championship of D1GP in 2014, Zhang fully showed his excellent skills and scored 9 in the first round, which was higher than the score 8 that Kuniaki Takahashi got. However, it was a pity that Zhang were 0.5 points lower than his opponent in round 2. Nevertheless, people were impressed by his amazing skills. It was a significant landmark for going out of China of Chinese racers.
Tyres' performance was also valued, including strong grip, handling stability of tyres. Westlake Racing Tyre SPORT RS, which is chosen by Zhang, are specially designed for car-racing and street racing by ZC RUBBER. The Westlake tyres are wildly popular among racers, including Tetsuya Hibino (one of top-notch racers in Japan, the championship of D1GP ), S Chanatpon Kerdpiam(a well-known racer in Thailand).
